for children and their families. We work with
lawmakers, business leaders and
communities to
make Michigan a place where all children
have the
opportunity to thrive.
| Take Action to Prevent Child Abuse and Neglect! |
 |
|
As the incidence of child abuse and neglect
continues to rise in Michigan, state funding
for prevention programs has been declining.
Advocates for children are encouraged to
ask Governor Granholm and their state
legislators to make child abuse and neglect
prevention a priority in the fiscal year 2009-
2010 budget.

| Tell Your Senators to Support the Economic Recovery Package |
|
|
The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Bill of 2009 (S.1) makes good economic
sense for families and children in Michigan.
But we must act now to urge senators to
support the economic recovery package and
oppose harmful amendments that may
jeopardize this bill. Voices for America's
Children has issued an Action Alert calling on
children's advocates to contact senators and
urge their support of S.1. Read the Action
Alert, analysis of the House and Senate
packages, including a side-by-side
comparison and state-by-state estimates,
and download key talking points in support of
the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Bill of 2009 (H.R 1/S.1), by clicking
